To be more environmentally friendly as production systems intensified, it became necessary to create systems with a high degree of biosecurity and toward efficiency in water and land use. Thus, microbial-based systems, such as the biofloc, were pioneered to support industry growth and market demand for shrimp. Currently, a derivation of biofloc has emerged and is gaining ground in the shrimp industry, which is the synbiotic system. Synbiotic systems are microbially based and are characterized by fertilizing the culture water with vegetable bran (prebiotics) that were processed by fermentation and/or microbial respiration by probiotic microorganisms. The fertilization strategy creates conditions similar to a natural environment by supporting microbial loop development, controlling water quality, and suppressing harmful, and pathogenic microorganisms. The synbiotic system is still new and without standard fertilization protocols, which has leads to dissimilar results between laboratory research and commercial farms. Therefore, this review is focused on describing the different fertilization procedures used in the synbiotic system for <i>P. vannamei</i> intensive culture, the importance of each fertilizer component, as well as the processing strategies. Furthermore, in this study, we seek to demonstrate perspectives and recommend future research topics to better understand the advantages and disadvantages of this production system.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":227,"journal":{"name":"Reviews in Aquaculture","volume":"17 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.8,"publicationDate":"2025-02-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143124769","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Veterinary medicinal products (VMP) are used as chemotherapeutants to control sea lice infestations on open-net pen salmon farms and questions have been raised about their potential to cause adverse effects on marine ecosystems. The current study analyses the usage patterns of anti-sea lice VMPs in major salmonid aquaculture regions and reviews the current knowledge on their mode of action, routes into the environment and environmental fate. We subsequently evaluate their hazard potential by performing a toxicity assessment and deriving up-to-date preliminary environmental quality standards (EQS). We demonstrate that the use of anti-sea lice VMPs varies between the major salmon-producing countries, with quantities varying over time and depending on the chemical. Norway and Chile use the highest quantity of chemical treatments, consistent with their higher salmon production capacity, and while the reliance on some chemicals has decreased the use of newly authorised chemicals has increased. Our toxicity assessment revealed that there was sufficient reliable acute toxicity data to derive EQS for five of the selected anti-sea lice VMPs using the probabilistic method of constructing species sensitivities distribution curves. However, insufficient chronic and sediment toxicity data were available for all chemicals and therefore EQS were derived using the traditional deterministic method.

Using 2–8 carbon chain carboxylates (2–8 CCs) has proven to be a promising and beneficial strategy for various fields, including aquaculture. Within the 2–8 CCs, short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) have received significantly more attention from researchers than the relatively less-explored medium-chain fatty acids (MCFAs). Applying these compounds in aquaculture has improved growth performance, feed efficiency, immune responses, intestinal health, antioxidant capacity, and water quality, thus promoting aquaculture organisms' productivity and sustainability. Furthermore, 2–8 CCs offer significant environmental benefits by reducing the reliance on antibiotics and promoting a healthier gut microbiota, thereby mitigating some ecological impacts of aquaculture. They also contribute to improved waste management practices and developing a more circular economy within aquaculture systems. This review comprehensively examines the current understanding of 2–8 CCs' effects in aquaculture, discussing their roles, environmental impacts, benefits, challenges, and future research directions.

The use of fish sludge as feed is currently not permitted in the European Union (EU).

Within the available, but scarce, literature on biological hazards in fish sludge, there is no clear evidence that fish sludge is unsafe for use as a feed material for invertebrates if treatment criteria established in the EU regulations are followed. Scarcity implies a level of uncertainty, but not necessary of risk.
